“The Castle Bar Room Only is a budget-friendly option with an unbeatable central Cambridge location. The rooms are accessed via a maze of hallways above a pub, which might appeal to some, and the recently renovated bathrooms are a plus. While the rooms themselves are basic, the helpful hosts and low price make it a viable choice for a no-frills stay.”
